Intercessor: Another Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare, sequel to Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare. The "original title" in this instance is the name of the character Intercessor, the real identity of the main character in the previous film.

Partial example: the first Modern Warfare game actually had Modern Warfare as a subtitle to Call of Duty 4. Its direct sequels, however, had numbers attached to the "subtitle" instead, keeping "Call of Duty" in the title purely for brand awareness.

Frontier: Elite II, whose sequel dropped "Elite" completely and became Frontier: First Encounters. The series goes back to normal in the upcoming Elite: Dangerous.

The third game in the Super Mario Land series is titled Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, to signify the change of protagonist from Mario to Wario, and the subsequent start of the Wario Land series. This only applies to the overseas versions, though; in Japanese, the original title comes first, followed by the Wario Land subtitle.
